Puckering Irregulars

Puckering achieved another notable victory this week in their match with Billingsgate. Helped considerably by a fine catch by Simon Tinsley, the Irregulars scuttled out their opponents for a meager 47. Though Puckering briefly flirted with disaster at 35-5 they achieved their target without further loss with Tinsley, who finished unbeaten, holding up his end while Walsham (15) scored the winning runs. Tinsley did not bowl.

Play was halted briefly when the ball skidded through an area of dubious consistency and one that caused considerable consternation. The Billingsgate players actually ran four before the umpires called a halt. Stout, the nearest fielder and a man of fastidious taste, refused to approach the ball until the umpires cleaned it. Never the sharpest fielder, he showed a marked reluctance to touch the ball afterwards and took only a light tea.

Editors note: Rachel's final tally of 8-17 were the best bowling figures in recorded Puckering cricket history.
